Just finished witnessing a wonderful session with Heather Plett speaking at the 2022 Kaleidoscope Conference, online this morning, on the first day of three. I’ve taken the foundations course at Heather & Krista’s Centre for Holding Space,...

In a conversation with my ‘auntie’ Lorraine this morning at 87 years young, we realized that with the death of the Queen comes a sort of grief unexpected, especially for those who are of an...
Many thanks to Professor George Toles for reposting this today on Facebook; for I’m transported to my own memories.. of so many completely different times and places.. where we all made ready and headed off...
I’ve been a bit quiet lately. Not contacting folks or going out much. In the meantime, I’m doing just fine here, our heat works well, we have a lot of blankets on our beds, lots...
When one lives a spiritual life, the emotions seem only one cm away, just as the light of Spirit is just one cm from conscious thought. In the glimmer of a thought, I can be...

I’m learning to manage my anxiety. Baby steps, really. It’s happening slowly, without being focused on anxiety, per se. One area I’m working on: finding new things to do when I’m tired and have what...
Feeling better should feel, well, better. What I’m finding though, feeling better brings more challenges. Questions with no answers. The need for a lot more patience. My pain levels are managed, yet life is not...

These days, we are making sense of things after climbing out of a deep sleep, post-pandemic.
Our bodies feel anxious about the rise of fascism and evidence of roiling climate crises at every turn.. and so, as we increase our conscious awareness, it’s important to increase connection, each in our own local communities and become fluent with our channels for mutual aid.
Attempting to maintain control through all this uncertainty is a normal response, though it’s likely to feel triggered and confused.. do relax and feel into whatever comes up, and know it is normal in urgent times like these.. reach out to loved ones, let them know they can count on you, and allow them to be there for you, too……

Thank you for visiting.
As always, I would love to hear from you.. the usual channels, or by email at hitrish @ gmail .com ❤️
